Overview
According to post-war plans, the French Navy was supposed to receive six AA defense cruisers, but in the end, only two were built. One was constructed using the De Grasse hull, while the other was built from scratch according to a similar design. The project incorporated several modifications, comprising a reduced transom stern, greater hull width, and a novel armor system. Colbert was built in Brest. In the first half of the 1960s, the ship served as the flagship of the Mediterranean Squadron, and between 1970 and 1972, she was rebuilt as a missile cruiser.
